Dd Took Wrong Physics Course

Doesn’t matter.

Yes.

I’m unsure why there’s so many wishy washy responses being given. Physics with calc is for students who will actually use physics with calc - engineers, physicists, astrophysicists. Physics 1 is basic straightforward mechanics. With calc or without calc, it’s basically the same. Although calc is useful, but not essential, for the problems

Physics 2 is Electricity and Magnetism and some other topics that vary by university. The gap between the calc and not calc versions is huge and it’s also a huge step up from either physics 1 course. And Physics 2 with calc almost universally requires MVC

Other than a very small number of specialized programs, there is no preference for calculus based physics.
